My weight loss stalled and I’m so discouraged. It’s been stalled for about 3 months now. I haven’t gained any weight, but I haven’t lost any either. Idk how much more I can change my diet. I eat relatively healthy. Mainly vegetarian with chicken or fish 3 times a week. I work out at least 5 times a week. Like wtf

I am being overwhelmed by life but in very good ways I guess. It's just stressful.

I'll be going to Korea for work pretty soon.

My mother, father and youngest brother are moving back to the Netherlands.

I'm a year away from my military contract being over but I haven't gone to DLI yet. Sometimes I tell myself that learning another language isn't really worth delaying other opportunities out there but my closest friends whose been to the school has told me that I'll never learn a language as quickly and efficiently as the one DLI will provide.

I want to become an engineer since I work with a lot of them and I know I'm capable because I'm smarter than most of them, but then again they're mostly old and incompetent. I want to really get into my comptia training but I have to make time to make sure I focus and actually gain something from it.

I'm getting old smh. I've never been so afraid of having so little time left to be where I want to be but that's mostly because I haven't been able to publish anything yet. I write a lot but then I revamp and trash it. Writing is so hard without an editor to back you up. What's worse is that good and original ideas I've had in the past are uninspired and unoriginal today.

Anyway. Time for that next phase in my life.

I used to feel like I was behind, but that’s because I was comparing myself to other people. It took my a while to realize that everyone’s times table is different. That you’re not behind, you’re right where you’re supposed to be. Things have literally been falling into my lap out of the blue lately. Like opportunities I wasn’t looking for or even expecting. Now I know Im right on time.

Society's ageism against women really gets me sometimes.

Men that love to instigate black women hating other black women are terrible people, I've noticed.

Any ladies use menstrual cups?

I was so excited to try one of those things but I didn't know how to put it in so now it's just sitting in my dressed collecting dust



Anyway, I think it's time I learned how to swim. Probably going to sign up for lessons before it gets cold.

Anyone ever swim with box braids or styles similar to that? Is there any way to keep them 100% dry? I know swim caps leak so that might not be enough.

You might need to just blow dry your braids or stay out in the sun.

Never realized that the only time i can get into a debate with my mother without it turning into a argument is when we're talking about super heroes Real next level nerdy shyt like plot holes and theories in the marvel or DC franchises because we're familiar with the cartoons (90s x-men and spiderman for example) or the comics from my dad's first hand knowledge.
She was discussing with me last night on all the possible theories that'll happen in AIW:II and she thought I kept disagreeing with her because I would say it's possible that it could happen but I don't think that route is likely. It can be fun and a bit frustrating trying to convince her that her words aren't law. A lot of the times when she's saying some outlandish inaccurate statement, when our discussions start to turn more into an argument (not the yelling kind, just the one sided kind where she goes against everything you're saying without reasoning) I either start tuning her out or pull a while she juelz's herself into nonsense.
Oftentimes, if he isn't drunk, my dad will defend my argument because he's objective. However, he seldom does that because my mother doesn't back down and no one is trying to initiate hearing her mouth. Sagittarius people
On the flip side, when he is drunk and engages, it can be disastrous hilarity. He can be 100% right but wearing your shades at 10pm dismisses any type of point you're making.


I can't wait until they leave

Menstrual cups are the best in my opinion. No leaking, no fear of bleeding through pants, no pain, no bad cramps. I used to use tampons, but once I learned they have chemicals in them I looked for alternatives. Pads are also has chemicals in them. Natural tampons and pads were too expensive to have to constantly buy them. My cup was ~$35 and it can get messy but once it’s in it doesn’t leak. They have two types: one for if you never had a child and one for when you have had a child. You can go 12 hrs without changing it.
